# 108 Sidelight Study
2006-10-21 03:45:02 Using different lighting to achieve dramatic shadow and illumination on the model has become just as important as the actual painting process to me. The side light allows practice painting the face in shadow. JLC More About: Study , Light , Side , Deli , Delight
# 107 Gypsy Dancer
2006-10-21 03:45:02 When I think of gypsies, all of these other things come to mind as well; namely castanets, guitars, energetic foot dances, clever craftsmanship, exotic costumes and a travelling existence. I have had the priviledge of camping with a two family band in Mexico on a surf adventure, they were very thoughtful, courteous and welcoming, their music was unbelievable.

# 94 Piano Teacher
2006-10-21 03:45:02 Artists and musicians make great models, artists know what looks good, and how to make a "comfortable sit" for a spell. Musicians on the otherhand, become so engrossed in what they are playing, become oblivious to what the painter is doing. JLC More About: Cher , Piano , Teacher , Teac
# 95 Torso Figure
2006-10-21 03:45:02 Another experiment using the base-tone of a relatively cool "grey cardboard color" for the middle-tone, it mimmicks fleshtone well and aids in seperating warm from cool colors. This painting is from a drawing of a wooden sculpture. JLC More About: Figure

# 103 Girl in a Sun Hat

# 122 Young Girl
2006-10-21 03:45:02 How does one classify their work? I think it is best to let others try and figure that out; as a painter, I give up trying. Recently, I have been working my paint more thickly and using stand oil for flow, the change in my work is obvious by a quick look back into my archives. I may just now be figuring out my own style; Finally! JLC More About: Girl , Young
